Well, these accounts are old and group-accounts, i. e. several people
working on a project together share those accounts. I don't know in how
many scripts these Accounts are hard-coded, but since account-names are
case-sensitive ("ssh -l ABC" != "ssh -l abc") some things might break.
People just don't want those accounts to be renamed.

I could add additional lines to my passwd-file with "abc" pointing to
the ABC-home-directory and having the same UID and GID, but that would
rather be a hack which I'd like to avoid if there is an (easy)
alternative in Exim.
